Abstract: Asphalt and elastomeric polymer compositions crosslinked with mixed polythiomorpholines or at least one alkyl polysulfide can give polymer modified asphalts (PMAs) with improved properties and/or reduced H2S evolution. When at least one alkyl polysulfide is used to completely or partially replace conventional crosslinkers such as S or MBT, mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI) may be optionally used as a co-crosslinker. The use of mixed polythiomorpholines as crosslinkers provide PMAs with better low temperature profiles (BBR m-values). The use of at least one alkyl polysulfide crosslinker gives PMAs with improved PAV-aged DSR results, and reduced H2S evolution. The use of at least one alkyl polysulfide crosslinker together with MBI may give PMAs with improved PAV DSR Fail Temperatures.

Abstract: An ultraviolet spectroscopic system and method is described that allows accurate, real-time, analysis of an ultraviolet absorbing gas species (e.g., nitric oxide) in vehicle exhaust independent of the air/fuel ratio (i.e., changing hydrocarbon concentrations). The method, which accurately accounts for the continuously changing background, allows the gas species to be measured selectively and accurately in undiluted vehicle exhaust with portable hardware that can be used on-board a vehicle.

Abstract: It has been discovered that a synthetic flux oil can contain and deliver asphaltites, such as gilsonite, more easily and readily to an asphalt to improve its properties. The synthetic flux oil includes the asphaltite and a carrier oil. Depending on the nature of the carrier oil, the synthetic flux oil may or may not need to be heated during mixing and incorporation into the asphalt.

Abstract: In methods of preparing asphalt and elastomeric polymer compositions such as polymer modified asphalt (PMA), it has been discovered that the compatibility can be improved by adding excess amounts of certain organic and inorganic metal salts beyond the proportions normally used. Suitable metal salts may be metal oxides that include, but are not necessarily limited to, zinc oxide, calcium oxide, and the like. The method of the invention also permits asphalt modified with other polymers such as ground tire rubber (GTR) to have improved compatibility. Additionally, the use of excess amounts of these metal salts helps control gel formation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing an asphalt and thermoplastic elastomer composition. The process comprises heating an asphalt cut in a stirred tank to a temperature sufficient to allow the stirring of the asphalt in the tank. A thermoplastic elastomer or rubber is added to the asphalt while continuing to stir the asphalt. The mixture is stirred at a speed and for a period of time sufficient to increase the distribution of the elastomer into the asphalt. The stirring speed is reduced and the temperature is increased to add crosslinking agents to the tank. Stirring is continued for a period of time sufficient to improve the distribution of the crosslinking agent dispersion in the asphalt. Crosslinking agents include compositions of mercaptobenzothiazole, zinc oxide and elemental sulfur; compositions of mercaptobenzothiazole, zinc oxide, and mixed polythiomorpholine; and compositions of zinc 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and dithiodimorpholine.

Abstract: A metal-modified alkylation catalyst including a metal/zeolite is provided where the metal is one or two selected from the group consisting of yttrium and a rare earth of the lanthanide series other than cerium. Where two metals are used, one may be Ce or La. The metal-promoted zeolite is useful as a molecular sieve aromatic alkylation catalyst for the production of ethylbenzene by the ethylation of benzene in the liquid phase or critical phase. An alkylation product is produced containing ethylbenzene as a primary product with the attendant production of heavier alkylated by-products of no more than 10-60 wt % of the ethylbenzene.
